The Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI, formerly DIT) was founded in January 2002 and represents a world-class aggregation of researchers and institutions. The Department provides a dynamic and qualified response to the ever-increasing, leading-edge competency demands in the field of ICT drawing from a productive fabric at the local, national and international level.

The Department covers three primary areas of the information and communication technology:

• Computer Science
• Telecommunications
• Electronics

These disciplines are taught individually, but with a strong  focus on interdisciplinarity. This gives DISI the ability to integrate the entire spectrum of competences needed to develop advanced technologies that underpin innovative applications and services.
